Wisdom from Jérôme Lejeune
At the moment of the Visitation, therefore, the human form of Jesus was incredibly young, only a few days, maybe a week… And yet John, the little prophet—six months older, it is true—jumped for joy at his arrival! If doctors nowadays reread this Gospel passage, they would understand with their hearts that science does not deceive them when it forces them, by reason, to acknowledge that Being starts at conception.
—Dr. Jérôme Lejeune
